HMO's have already figured out how to end the abuse of overuse due to services being free or so cheap as to seem free - co-pays.

The co-pays on my doctor visits and prescriptions are 300% higher than they were 10 years ago, and they definitely discourage me from going to the doctor every time I have a sniffle.

Couple co-pays with means-testing (so those too poor to afford co-pays aren't excluded) and the problem is solved!
